Priest: Theodore Joseph, I baptized you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy

Spirit,
AMEN.
Priest: Theodore Joseph has been reborn in baptism. Let us pray together the words our Lord has given us

Angel: May your child’s Baptism be just the start of a life filled with blessings. Best wishes, Faith anak.
Faith: Thank you, mama
Torres: Happy Baptism my cute little baby brother!
Angel: Hay, if only mama and tita was here, she`d be the happiest to see the family you built Faith.
Torres: Mama and tita? are they my great grandmothers, lola?
Angela: yes apo, two of the bravest women I know, they love children and their countrymen. My mama
was a teacher who fought and stood up for our freedom during the martial law and my tita was a
journalism who also joined the fight and spoke up the truth about the dictatorship.
Faith: Ma, let`s not talk about that
Torres: but ma—
Faith: Let`s talk about it next time, it`s theodore`s day
Angel: Apo, your great grandmothers both experienced life during martial law-

Change scene
Jhared: My countrymen, as of 21st of this month, I signed Proclamation 1081 placing the entire
Philippines under the martial law. This proclamation was to be implemented upon my clearance and
clearance was granted at nine o`clock in the evening of the 22nd last night. I have proclaimed martial law
in accordance with the powers vested in the President by the Constitution of the Philippines.

Guy: Ma`am, you ask for me?

Jane Kyla: What is this?!
Guy: Where did you find this ma`am? It should not be here
Jane Kyla: This is the daily express! Articles in opposition to the martial law is not permitted!
Guy: But isn`t it the journalism`s first obligation is to tell the truth?!
Jane Kyla: You are endangering yourself!
Guy: It is my duty!
Jane Kyla: You know what? You are fired!
Mariaj: Can I have one?
Koji: Woah! You`re a teacher!
Mariaj: I am a teacher.
Koji: Here ma`am take these, thank you for standing up
Mariaj: I would never let my child and my students grow up without freedom. We will fight for them.
Koji: Let`s create change, declare the truth, that above all, true power is harnessed through the unity of us,
countrymen.

MARIAJ The enemy of freedom is dictatorship!

KOJI Laban ng masa, Edsa para sa masa!
ANGELA Give up! You lost!
GUY Marcos, Impeach!
JANE KYLA

Sydney: The proclamation of martial law, tita being fired and the people chanting, those were examples of
declarative speech act
Angel: Apo? What are you saying?
Sydney: Nothing lola, it`s something I learned from school.
Angel: oh don`t think about school right now!
Faith: Mama! Angel! Let`s go!
Sydney: yes, ma!. Hay, lola, I figured you were right
Angel: Right about what?
Sydney: That Lola Mariaj ang Lola Kim were one of the bravest woman we know.
Angel: They sure are. I now declare them heroes
Sydney: Lola! That`s not how declarative speech act works!
Angel: HAHAHA, I`m just kidding!
